The first wave started off in the community and entered vulnerable settings like nursing homes quite quickly. We didn't really see that in wave 2. We are seeing that in wave 3 again.
Despite sufficient PPE in these environments this time round, transmission is still difficult to control. It's better than wave 1, but not for all places.
Because of community transmission being so high, lots of places have been exposed to a number of positive staff v quickly.
